LIBERTY CHURCH PENTECOSTAL MINISTRIES ANNUAL REPORT 1[st] February 2022- January 2023 Charity number – 1061710 We the Trustees of Liberty Church Pentecostal Ministries have again worked very closely with our church in accordance with our Governing Document. And to that end we try to keep the church informed of what is happening as we are all part of the same body. We also try to keep them informed in what is going on in our town and also our Nation. We as a church firmly believe that there can be no change for the better without prayer. So with this in mind we have a Fasting and Prayer For Our Nation evening once a month, usually on a Friday evening. Our weekly church meetings are as follows- (1) Sunday morning at 10.30 we hold a Breaking of Bread service, (Communion) where we take the ‘emblems’ of the body and the blood of Jesus for the remission of sins of the whole world. (2) Sunday evening is mostly a prayer or prayer and fasting meeting. Or a ‘ministry meeting’ which I shall mention later on in this report. (3) We have a meeting at 7.00pm on Wednesdays which is called Word Alive, which as the title suggests is Bible teaching. (4) Then the last meeting of the week is prayer meeting at 7.00pm on a Friday evening. As per our Governing Document, church members continued to visit people in prison. We also had our annual collection for Christmas presents for prisoners children. Also we continued the same as last year the collection of money in lieu of buying each other Christmas cards and said that it would be sent to one of the Charities that we support. We continue to distribute ‘Good News’ papers at Easter, October and December. We also send annual donations to various other Christian Charities, and to individuals, as need arises. As we are a very small congregation, we the Trustees thought that it would be easier if we got involved with Samaritans Purse’s ‘Operation Christmas Child’ by sponsoring the ‘Shoeboxes’ on their website. We were able to pack twenty seven ‘Shoeboxes’ with gifts and toys for each relevant age group. We have at least two Ministry Meetings each year. And as we mentioned in our report for Charity Commission last year, a ministry meeting is for people to develop in preaching, who do not normally preach. As many as possible of our congregation are encouraged to take part in the meeting by singing, reading from Scripture, a poem, or sharing a testimony. The dates that they were held on areas below. (1) Sunday February 6[th] 2022 (2) Sunday May 22[nd] 2022 Visiting speakers from Christian organisations spoke about their practical and spiritual work for the poor; and an offering was taken at each meeting for each individual Charity. - (1) Sunday Evening 20[th ] March Adopt A Child (2022) - (2) Sunday Evening 8[th] May The Philippines (2022) - (3) Sunday Evening 19[th] June Armenian Ministries (2022) - (4) Sunday Evening 16[th] October Friends of Israel (2022) - (5) Sunday November 13th IDOP (International Day of Prayer for The Persecuted Church) (2022) - (6) Sunday Evening 15[th] January 2023 Good News For Everyone (Gideons) We had two visits this year from Mick Lockwood, who is a retired Baptist Minister. ## (1) Sunday Morning 29[th] May - (2) Sunday Morning 2[nd] October As a church we also support two children :- We have Christof “Khan” Immanuel d.o.b, 27/09/14. We support him through the Christian organisation called Compassion. And also Silvia Esperanza de la Cruz, and her d.o.b is 12/02/13.
